Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 289 - 278: True and False
When the three groups of men just made contact, everything seemed normal. Each team was attacking the others, but soon, an unusual situation arose! Just when the real Wan Jun had just repelled an imposter with a single stroke, Lao San and Lao Si, originally behind him, simultaneously let out a low shout, their weapons already thrusting towards Wan Jun’s back.
The weapons of Lao San and Lao Si were both long swords. Although not as remarkable as the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss in Wan Jun’s hand, they were far from ordinary. They had barely launched their sneak attack when Wan Jun in front snorted coldly and said, "I knew there was a problem, it turns out it was you two who have been switched!" He spoke urgently as Lao San and Lao Si’s attack was swift, being a sneak attack.
If Wan Jun had been completely unprepared, he would certainly have been wounded, and most likely severely. But Wan Jun had suspected this all along, so he kept a close watch on the four people behind him with Divine Sense! As Lao San and Lao Si’s murderous intent surged, he turned around. The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss in his hand traced a peculiar arc, and in an impossible posture, he managed to fend off the attacks from both men at the same time.
Having blocked the treacherous strike, Wan Jun didn’t hesitate for a moment. The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss in his hand vibrated, repelling the two opponents’ long swords. Then, ducking low, he wielded the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss in his right hand like a butterfly flitting through flowers, aiming for Lao San and Lao Si’s lower bodies.
However, although Wan Jun’s counterattack was swift, Lao San and Lao Si’s reactions were not slow either. Both men leapt back in unison, dodging Wan Jun’s riposte. Wan Jun wanted to chase after them, but reality forced him to turn back to fend off another attack.
Previously, he had been engaged in combat with the counterfeit Wan Jun, and it was only with all his strength that he had managed to repel the imposter’s strike and turn to defend himself from Lao San and Lao Si’s ambush.
With the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss in his hand, he once again swept across, blocking another chop from the impostor Wan Jun.
At this moment, a curious state emerged in the field. Lao San and Lao Si, who had launched the sneak attack, had already retreated, while Lao Er and Lao Wu seemed somewhat confused, standing still. They looked back at Lao San and Lao Si and then at Wan Jun.
The two sides who had originally been on the offensive had also ceased their attacks, taking a few steps back. "Lao Er, Lao Wu, be careful. Lao San and Lao Si have been switched. The real Lao San and Lao Si are on the other side, but it’s unclear which is the real one! Don’t act recklessly, we’ve encountered trouble this time!"
Hearing Wan Jun’s words, Lao Er and Lao Wu were initially bewildered, but an instant later, as if struck by realization, their faces showed a hint of panic. So that was it; the purpose of the smoke bomb was this. They had never expected their opponents to play such a trick!
Turning to look back at Lao San and Lao Si, both felt a chill of fear. Luckily, it was Wan Jun who was targeted by these imposters for the sneak attack. If it had been the two of them, they likely would have been dead by now.
"Lao San, Lao Si, which ones of you are real?" Lao Er asked impatiently, shouting at the ten people including Lao San and Lao Si standing ahead. As soon as the shout ended, both pairs of Lao San and Lao Si answered simultaneously, "Lao Er, I’m here!" But such questioning and answering were utterly useless. If the enemy intended to substitute the Crown Prince with a doppelganger, they must have made complete preparations. How could they be so easily exposed?
Lao Er, seeing all four people respond at once, felt a headache brewing. He wanted to ask more questions to confirm the identities of the two but didn’t expect that suddenly, another Wan Jun would raise his hand and throw yet another Smoke Bomb. Astonishingly, the area covered by this smoke bomb was even larger than the last.
When the smoke dissipated this time, the fifteen people once again grouped into threes! However, no one attacked this time, they only looked around ceaselessly and asked each other questions. Witnessing this scene, Wan Jun’s heart sank. The other side not only looked exactly like his own team but also mimicked their actions. This made things even more chaotic.
Moreover, Wan Jun had now given up trying to distinguish who was real and who was fake and instead pondered the reason for this situation. However, no matter how he thought about it, the conclusion was obvious: this was a trap, and the trigger for this trap might have been the giant snake they had killed earlier. Once the giant snake died, these imposters appeared.
Taking a deep breath, Wan Jun suddenly raised the Sword Demon blade in his right hand in front of him and, without turning his head, asked Lao Er beside him, "Lao Er, do you know the legend of the Sword Demon, Wan Jun?" Lao Er was startled at first, not understanding why Wan Jun would ask him this at such a time, but still he opened his mouth to respond, "Wan Jun, wielding the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, is known for his astounding Combat Power, his subordinates never sparing a life. When facing powerful enemies, he resorts to the Sword Control Technique, becoming the Sword Demon. But when faced with imminent danger, he enters a state where the sword wields him, known as the Sword Demon! The Combat Power of the Sword Demon is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the Sword Demon blade!"
Having said his piece, Wan Jun nodded with satisfaction and declared, "Worthy of being my brother, understanding me like the back of your hand! However, brother, today, it’s time to say farewell! For the sake of Annihilation Demon Nation, I can only do this!" Before the sound of his voice had faded, a soaring Demonic Qi suddenly erupted from Wan Jun’s Seven-Star Dragon Abyss in his hand, and within the tumult of Demonic Qi, swords forged from the Qi materialized, growing ever more tangible amidst the maelstrom.
As the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss burst forth with Demonic Qi, Wan Jun also let out a sharp cry, then suddenly pressed his hands against his chest. Following that, dark sword-shaped patterns began to spread over his palms and upwards across his body, quickly covering all of Wan Jun with the inky black designs.
Then, in a moment that left Number Two in disbelief, a dark longsword pierced through Number Two’s chest. The sword, etched with a blood-red dragon writhing along its face, had scales as lifelike as Blood Jade. On the other face of the blade, seven silver-white Star Sinkers were arrayed in the formation of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, seemingly connected by a faint thread running between them!
"Big Brother, why, why, why did you?" Not only was the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss incredibly sharp, but the most terrifying aspect was the massive Demonic Qi, the Power of the Stars and the aura of a demonic dragon contained within it. The three forces merged into an immensely destructive and domineering power that, the moment the sword pierced Number Two’s chest, ravaged his body instantaneously.
And the devastation was complete, from every cell to organs, muscles, veins, and bones—all utterly destroyed. Thus, Number Two had time only to utter a "why" before he died.
Watching Number Two breathe his last, Wan Jun’s stilled heart twitched slightly. Killing that person all those years ago had felt the same, no, even more intense than now!
"Wan Jun, Big Brother, what are you doing? Why did you kill Number Two?" The one who asked was Number Five. Among the five brothers, Number Two and Number Five had the closest relationship, practically inseparable. Seeing Wan Jun slay Number Two with a single strike, Number Five was as outraged as he was shocked. Read new chapters at novelbuddy
"Nothing special, I’m just ensuring the ranking of Annihilation Demon Nation in this trial. I must eliminate all the risks. This has always been our duty, have you forgotten?"
"But why did you have to kill Number Two? The enemy is out there, not him!" Number Five’s emotions were clearly becoming uncontrollable. Although he had suspected before that this time the enemies had laid a trap specifically for them, and he had doubted those around him, he had only doubted because the other four, aside from Wan Jun, had been his brothers since childhood, with whom he had eaten, slept, trained, and completed missions.

So although Number Five had doubts, he showed nothing.
"Wan Jun, you’re right, I also know this is the enemy’s scheme, but there must be a way to break it, as long as we think, we’ll definitely find their flaws!"
"Number Five, there’s no more time! Rest assured, I will kill everyone present! Nobody but me shall approach Annihilation Palace!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wan Jun’s body twisted, and with a swift step, he appeared instantly behind Number Five.
"Number Five, goodbye! I’m grateful for the time I’ve been your brother." The moment he spoke, his Seven-Star Dragon Abyss flashed, and Number Five’s head had already soared into the sky!
"Number Three, he’s a fake, this Wan Jun is a fake! He killed Number Two and Number Five, let’s team up and kill him to avenge them!" Standing to the side, Number Four finally awoke from his shock as Number Five’s blood splashed onto his face, and he screamed hysterically. But no sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a chill in his chest. Then a voice whispered to his ear, "Number Four, it is I who am the fake!"
